Worried more about the general case. Is mii_tick() going to be ok with being invoked more often? Also, if you are only doing this during attach or interface up, it might be simpler to have a private timer (shoot, if it's during attach the 'struct callout' can be on the stack) just for this bit. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
